The Joy of suffering

"It is not surprising that you are misunderstood. People in Nazareth did not understand Christ either. It must have been hard for the God-Man to be misunderstood. So, rejoice, because this experience will make you like your Beloved. These little sufferings are the hand of God, conforming you into the image of His Son, allowing you to share His loneliness, His suffering, His hidden pain."--Catherine Doherty
